Chapter 8: Villa! Ghostly Shadow! Reward Received!
“Can I ask someone else to help with the evil spirit?”
As soon as the red paper man finished speaking, a student asked.
“Each person only has one chance. If someone helps you, they can only live in your house,” the red paper man replied indifferently.
Its words extinguished many students’ plans.
Other students asked a few more questions, and the red paper man answered them in detail.
Then, all the students went to a house by the street to receive their identity tags.
It was a small tag that could be hung around the neck.
This small tag had many functions, including communication.
Lin Feng took the identity tag and casually put it in his pocket before looking towards the building area.
[New task: Obtain an independent house. Task reward: Ghost Spirit experience 50-200 (depending on the size of the house), Ghost Spirit potential 1.]
At this time, the system’s voice sounded.
The task came at just the right time.
—
“Brother Lin, Brother Lin, how about we form a team?” The chubby student and a few others came over, trying to curry favor.
Lin Feng glanced at them and said, “Sorry, I’m planning to go alone.”
After speaking, Lin Feng walked straight towards the building area.
“Who is that? Going alone?”
“Not sure.”
“…”
Among the more than three hundred students, Lin Feng was the first to make a move, so he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
The students from other schools didn’t know Lin Feng, so they started to discuss him.
“I know. That’s Lin Feng from Sixth High School. It’s said that he killed a runaway ghost spirit alone.”
“Wow, so powerful! If only we could rely on him!”
“……”
Some students were amazed after learning about Lin Feng from others.
Then, these students began to form small groups, while others decided to observe the situation first.
—
Without paying attention to the other students, Lin Feng quickly arrived at the building complex.
The complex was quite large.
There were houses of various sizes and conditions — some had balconies, some didn’t. Some were quite pleasing to the eye, while others were old and rundown.
Each house had someone guarding it.
Lin Feng approached a tall, somewhat rundown building.
“What’s inside?” Lin Feng asked.
“Daily-grade evil spirits. If you’re brave enough, you can handle them. The houses inside are small and old, with each unit being less than fifty square meters. But there aren’t many available, only a hundred units were released this time. You can choose from the surrounding buildings if you want, but you’d better hurry,” the guard replied.
Lin Feng left.
Soon, Lin Feng arrived at a seven-story small Western-style building that looked decent.
“What grade are the evil spirits here?” Lin Feng asked.
“Ordinary grade.”
The guard here didn’t seem very talkative, so Lin Feng left again.
He decided to check out the villa area.
The daily-grade evil spirits in the rundown buildings posed no challenge to Lin Feng, and the houses were too small.
Ordinary-grade ones were certainly bigger, but Tongtong herself was already at the ordinary grade, so there was no challenge at all.
In that case, it was worth checking out the villas.
The villa area was located further back.
Soon, Lin Feng arrived there.
There were quite a few villas.
However, only two villas had someone guarding them, which meant that out of the more than three hundred students, at most only two could live in a villa.
Or, if some students teamed up, several could live in one villa.
“What kind of evil spirits are inside?” Lin Feng asked as he stood in front of a villa.
“Dangerous grade.” The thin man guarding the villa lifted his eyes to look at Lin Feng and then spoke in a low voice.
“Dangerous grade!” Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat!
Dangerous grade was a rank higher than ordinary grade!
Ordinary-grade spirits posed some threat to humans.
Dangerous-grade ones were almost certain death for ordinary people.
For newly awakened Ghost Controllers, encountering one… would also likely result in death.
No wonder only two villas were available!
—
Lin Feng glanced inside, and he saw a dark shadow with crimson eyes staring at him from the second-floor window.
“Don’t worry, it can’t come out. If you go in, you’ll only face death. Little one, if you want to live in a villa, you should come back in ten years or so. Maybe then you’ll have a chance. These two villas are specially prepared for you students who’ve just awakened ghost spirits. But in the past ten years, no student has ever managed to live in one.” At this moment, the thin man’s voice sounded beside Lin Feng.
“Why wait ten years?” Lin Feng asked.
“Hmph, do you think living in a villa is that easy? Everyone in the villa area is at least a grade 4 Ghost Controller. It took me eleven years to become a grade 3 Ghost Controller. A grade 2 Ghost Controller can handle a dangerous-grade evil spirit, but you’ve just awakened your ghost spirit. If you can handle it now, it means your ghost spirit has enormous potential… and you’ll naturally be able to live here!” the thin man replied.
Daily grade was 0, ordinary grade was 1, and dangerous grade was 2.
The grade of a Ghost Controller is naturally tied to the grade of their ghost spirit!
Tongtong was currently at the ordinary grade.
However, when Tongtong transformed into the red dress, she should have the strength of a dangerous-grade spirit.
But…
Lin Feng felt that Tongtong’s red dress transformation might not last long.
[Ding, your newbie mission’s 10x reward has been received. You have gained 1000 ghost spirit experience, please check it!]
At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.
The 10x reward for the newbie mission, delayed by three days, had finally arrived!
